Bottle o' Beer

 

A work toughened hand

just grasped


another metallic crowned

twist top


screwing life

and a gasp of air


to the lovely liquid


held there and sighted 
with glassy eyes

where a cool mist

releases from the rim.

 

From a swayed angle 
poured out


along the conical neck


diving sparkling golden


remembering brown tinted


origins


its form of past


and rising replenished


by new bubbles ascending


to surface cream

dreamy drip clouds.
